Hello Everyone,

I am Tom Cr0w, owner of the Cr0w's Place and the Cr0w's Place YouTube Channel and I have developed a ROM for the HTC One that comes with the best apps and utilities for penetration Testing and anonymity.

Don't get too exited, it is not something fancy, it is stock ROM Zipaligned and DeOxeded with a little more customization. The thing is that I don't own an HTC One and if someone can test my ROM I will be glad. Keep in mind that is in very early face and I don't take responcibility for anything that happens. If you are intrested leave a commend bellow and i will provide you the link of my ROM and instructions in a PM.

Thank You...:)
[One (M7) General] djice000:
I would like to test it buddy, but a word of warning, people don't look lightly on people who ask the community to test something be it a ROM, kernel etc on a device the OP doesn't own.

[One (M7) General] saketh91:
I am interested buddy. Really want to test what is new in this
[One (M7) General] safepacket:
Looks like a nice idea mate. I have always used chrooted Backtrack on my droid for pentest's . Having a pentesting ROM and that too on ONE will be nice.

I am just trying to understand that is this ROM all about a STOCK ROM with some best of breed pentest apps pre-installed or you got some other features too ? If its just about collection of apps on and off playstore why not an AROMA package which any custom ROM can eventually use.

Apologies was not trying to challenge your idea and work but was just trying to think if the pentest collection can be leveraged/installed easliy on my existing setup..

Btw that please pass down the links of the ROM will love to give some feedback.
[One (M7) General] Justin2003:
I'm in.
[One (M7) General] Theshawty:
Uh.. Here's what I don't get: Why do you develop a ROM for a phone you don't have?
[One (M7) General] Serbinhio:
Because I don't have a high range android phone that most of these apps will work properly(and also my future ideas ;) ) , I don't have the money to take one, I am a fan of HTC and finally I want to help the community.. Anyone that wants to help me by his/hers side good enought, anyone that doesn't want to help me by his/hers side also good enought. :D

Do you want the link or not?
[One (M7) General] Delgra:
If you need an extra tester I am in :) I own an international HTC One with S-Off. I have tested many ROMs and I was looking for something new like this kind of ROM. Let me know..

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrewKrew:
Hello.

I really didn't want to make a thread but i've been bouncing of dead lnks and failed search results or outdated incorrect info all day and i can't seem to get the information i need. I'm sorry if i haven't done everything i can before this psot but i have rtied, i really have!

My issue:

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i which was running so slow it was terrible. I found a nice slimline rom that i read about and was happy to use.

I used Samsung recovery to then run CWM ClockWorkRec5830i, which i used to install 'update' which gave me Superuser access and rooted my phone (i think, if i understand) then i made a backup of my phones stock image, then i used it to wipe the phone, clear cache, and finally install my new rom.

...so far so good.

The rom installed, the phone rebooted, everything was working (really fast and really well, i was VERY pleased) however i have hit my issue:

IMEI data was gone. *#06# showed nothing, so i went back into Samsung recovery, loaded ClockWorkRec5830i and restored my phone back ro original using my backup. The IMEI returned! All was well again, so i got Galaxy Toolbox from Play store, ran it with Superuser access and created a backup of the EFS file.

I returned my phone back to the new rom that i had chosen and again installed Galaxy Toolbox to use the 'restore EFS' option.

The IMEI is still blank using *#06# which has me very confused.

I can open the EFS backup file in Hex workshop and the serial number data is is there. I can use Galaxy Toolkit device info and see the IMEI in there, so i don't understand what i have done wrong for the IMEI not to be showing in the phone.

Can anyone help or educate me please. I do generally want to learn more about why i haven't realised the mistake may.

I love learning this stuff but it can be overwelming sometimes until someone comes along and calls you an idiot and tells you the obvious lol! Please, "I'm an idiot" hehee.

Thankyou

Drew (United Kingdom)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lalit Patil:
Don't consider yourself idiot at all lol. You have explained everything so clearly.

Well,

This problem is so much common with this phone. Don't know why !

Many people including me facing this problem.

Sometimes you just reboot your phone and you will see ur IMEI is gone. Reboot again and its back. -_-

Its really strange issue actually.

You already knew all methods to get IMEI back. This is comman issue with this phone. Suffer it. :(

Maybe [MENTION=4782403]iamareebjamal[/MENTION] have figured this prob out.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrewKrew:
The rom i found was great. It performed so much faster, did not take up much of the very limited memory on the handset, it was the perfect solution to my needs but whenever i use it i cannot make any calls etc due to no IMEI (*#06# shows a complete blank box) and i have tried rebooting the phone so so many times, repeating the process of installing the rom again and again and not once can i ever get it to show IMEI in *#06#. I could understand if the EFS backup also showed that the imei had reset or become corrupt, but it looks fine in Hex Workshop, shows up in device info on Galaxy Toolbox app, i just can't conclude anything from it's behaviour.

Using my original phone's backup the IMEI is restored instantly, and i have taken the EFS backup whilst running the phone on it's original state.

Could it be because something is not right in the rom? Is the rom changing something that i could possibly correct myself? Or something in the rom not suitable for my model and version of the GT-S5830i handset (compatibility issue)?

I really want to be able to use this rom and other's seem to be able to use it without issue which just makes me more determined to find the cause and correct my issue. I also see that many people do lose their IMEI and the EFS backup/restore method seems to work perfectly for them, because they seem to have their IMEI turned to blank values when checking in HexWorkshop whereas mine is still showing as expected.

I cannot make sense of this scenario at all lol.

I appreciate ANY and ALL advice :)

The rom is was trying was MEHDI ROM v2. I am in the United Kingdom using a GT-S5830i on o2 newtwork with no network locks or restrictions.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamareebjamal:
Make a new backup of your IMEI(make sure it is lost by once or twice rebooting) . And open via Hex Workshop.

If you see your IMEI in there, then reflash stock ROM and flash this Custom ROM without wiping anything.

If it doesn't solve your issue now too

Try restoring the efs partition before Media Scanning starts and Reboot the phone after media scanning is started.

These all are hit and trial methods. I've myself never found a fully satisfying solution

If nothing works, you'll have to try any other ROM.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitesh2626:
May these help you..

As about these issue i do flash a Custom Kernel after flashing Rom with no IMEI Number

So After Flashing any Custom Kernel my IMEI Gets back

You can try it with any kernel

I use to flash Rafael.Baugis Kernel flash both its Modules and E3Boot.img
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srt99:
may be try changing kernel..

try any custom kernel...it helps me every time..

i have wiered problem, i can't use custom kernel on stock rom...or stock kernel on custom rom, both of these combination makes my imei disappear every time.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabiolaec:
go to this thread for all the explanation

Hey, did you solved your problem? i had the same problem once and it was just that the backup made with galaxytoolbox didn't match. So the best solution is to do a backup again and you will have to open the new file and edit it with the HEX editor and input your imei number manually. Here the thread with the info http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2064034&page=1 and this video is great, but it's in spanish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kbY0EZYsXE Hope this solves your problem.

I cannot use the galaxy toolbox for my restoring unfortunately as the galaxy toolbox is not working with my current rom, if you know of another program that can help me fix it, i would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Fab
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrewKrew:
Thanks for the replies, but unfortunately i have not yet resolved the problem.

I have gone over the process again and again, repeating it the same way, trying slightly different ways, the outcome is always the same. Everytime i try i take a EFS backup (taken while the phone is restored to running on it's original stock rom and setup, with the IMEI all working and displaying via *#06#) the EFS file shows the IMEI in Hex Editor. Everytime. It's always there.

Then, as soon as i flash a rom and reboot the phone i have no IMEI. I use the good EFS backup and restore the EFS to the phone (which has the IMEI data intact) but the phone still will not display the IMEI via *#06# and if i check the EFS again it is still showing the IMEI as being in the EFS backup and still good.

So i have no idea why the phone is not seeing the IMEI because apparently it IS still there!

I'm installing roms by using the recovery method to 'apply update', using Samsung basic recovery mode, but could i use the CWM recovery to install? Would that have a different effect? Is it safe to use CWM to install roms as the guide i read said to only install roms using Samsung restore as CWM adds a risk of crashing or bricking the phone?

So many people are able to successfully flash a GT-S5830i and i just do not know enough yet about phone roms to feel confident to do more daring things with different methods for fear of making a critical mistake. So much of the information i have read contradicts itself, and other information neglects to explain certain things or simply assumes you know about bootloaders, CSC files and the like...

I've modified so many gadgets before and am fairly confident with doing such things it's just i can't seem to educate myself correctly over the modifying of these Samsung Android phones.

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 today and wanted to remove some of the bloatware so that's my next phone to read up on.

I have been put off a bit because of the issue of losing IMEI. It seems to be a big risk with this model, do other Samsung models have issues with IMEI loss?

Thankyou to all who are taking time to post. I read and appreciate every post, and am enjoying learning about this new topic to me.

:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrewKrew:
Perhaps i shouls restore back to my original working setup, then install the rom using recovery (or via CWM recovery - i have no idea which is safest and the correct method as i read conflicting information) then install the rom without resetting/wiping anything? Would that help?

When i select roms should i be making sure they contain a compatible baseband or something?

I don't understand this area.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitesh2626:
About recovery use CWM

If you do not wipe then there will some problem occur may be like the phone will not boot after flashing Rom so must do wipe

And about baseband and all don't worry you can use any stock Rom for flashing Roms.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabiolaec:
I'm not sure if you missed this step.

I did efs backup on stock rom and tried to restore with galaxy toolbox on the new rom and IT DIDN'T WORK....

you have to copy your imei number manually (or directly from the sticker) and once you are in the NEW ROM, make a backup of the IMEI. of course if you open it with the hex editor it will be EMPTY.

Then in this new back up file newly created you have to manually input your IMEI number using the HEX EDITOR.

This should work.

Rgds,

Fab

Don't ask the same question in two different threads.

Galaxy toolbox works almost every time.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyrax.net:
Did anyone having a similar issue manage to resolve it or can suggest other steps to follow?

I am having the exact issue but for the life of me can not make the IMEI appear even though galaxy toolbox reports it is fine. Here is my post from another thread, before I found this one.

Since the above, tried thunderbird kernal and I am still without IMEI.

I would just like to ask. Is it possible, at some point I have deleted EFS partition? Should I be able to see this EFS partition somewhere? Browsing through PC, on SD card or through CW recovery?

My only idea is that I have deleted efs partition so galaxy toolbox has no where to restore to BUT the app itself reports correct IMEI as does the hex value with a backup file.

Ideas, rants and possible suggestions welcome!

One thing that I am finding annoying in Kitkat is that the left most screen (other than Google Now) is the default screen after pressing the home button. I'd prefer that I could choose which screen the home button takes me to. Is there a setting for this that I am misssing?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkia2sg:
Yes you're missing everything about android, this isn't ios of course you can change whichever home screen you want. When you're on your home screen press the 'Home screen button' again and then press the small + sign the upper right corner, there you can add or delete and rearrange your screens and the one with the green check mark is your default main home screen.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldbeverage:
That worked on 4.3, but it doesn't seem to work on 4.4. The default home screen (i.e. where the home button takes you) is always the "left-most" screen (other than google now) and you have to scroll right to get to the other screens.

Agree
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaconsult:
you can drag and rearrange the screens to pick a new home

While it looks like there is no way to set which screen is the home screen - probably because of google now being the leftmost screen - you CAN change the order of the screens by long-pressing and then dragging them to rearrange. Whichever one is left-most becomes the default "home screen". when you hit the home icon.

Edited 26 jan 2006

I've uploaded a second test version of HTC Wizard's rom port to ftp://xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/wm5_test/wizard2ba_v2a_test.rar

(this is a v2 rom with a fixed camera)

USE THIS ROM AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

This version is a complete Wizard's ROM including:

1. Working MMS client

2. Midi/mp3 ringtone support

3. DirectX mobile/Direct3D mobile (xscale-optimized 3D driver)

4. Built-in cyberon voice-dial

5. Wizard's battery indicator, device lock on today

6. Some cosmetic changes

7. 32 Mb RAM disk

8. Bug fixes from the previous version (for example now you can add picture to contact).

There is no need to install any of the old CAB-files with fixes on this ROM. All needed fixes are included in "EXTROM" folder.

The "EXTROM" folder has changed from the previous ROM version. You need to do a hard reset before using this ROM!

Known problems:

1. Bluetooth disconnect bug is still there. I have an idea, but would check it later.

2. The device cannot be used as an IR/USB modem. This can be fixed, but I don't have enough time.

3. It seems that midlet manager is not working. Probably this is a bug in original wizard's ROM.

Installation instructions:

1. Modify the operator as needed and if needed:

xda3nbftool.exe nk.nbf nk.nba -x 0x20040521

...read wiki...

xda3nbftool.exe nk.nba nk.nbf -x 0x20040521

2. Create "EXTROM" foder on your storage card, copy there the contents of EXTROM

folder from this archive. The full name of this directory on your device should

be "\Storage Card\EXTROM".

2. Flush the ROM

3. Make the hard reset (press camera+record+reset buttons, select "format storage")

4. Boot. During the first boot the CAB-files from "EXTROM" folder would be

installed. They are unsigned, so you should press "yes" when asked, and

install them to the default folder. This process would be silent on newer

builds of this ROM.

Note for modifying the EXTROM folder:

All CAB-files should have read-only attribute set. Otherwise they would be deleted after installation. This would be fixed in the future releases. And

Config.txt is renamed to Cfg.txt.

CAB files:

Missing-Files.CAB - must be always installed. Wizard's ROM is larger than ours, so several files had to be removed and placed to this CAB.

Default_CAB-shortcut-CDL-08Sep05.CAB

Default_cdl_wwe_version.cab

Default_ie_view.sa.cab

Default_SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB - these 4 are from original Wizard's ROM.

Camera2K5.cab - camera app and drivers

Note regarding "RAM Disk32". I recommend to move temporary internet files and install unnecessary apps there. Its contents would survive soft reset, but would be cleaned if the battery is removed. The RAM Disk driver is taken from www.buzzdev.net

Okay, so I got the ROM even before you posted this topic (after an hour you've uploaded it...yes, i do check the WM5_test folder on a regular basis, hehe) First impressions is that this ROM is fast, really fast, even faster than the Hima2BA port... I can't really call WM5 "slow" anymore now, it works very well. Gonna test it a bit more later today. And THANK YOU, as usual ;)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] KTamas:
Just turned on cleartype and the fonts looks a bit...I don't know...weird. I'm not saying that it is worse than in the older ROMs, it just looks different somehow. Or it's just me. Edit: yes, they *do* look different. I'd say they are nicer though...
